History / Biographical NoteBiographical / HistoricalRebekah Crawford lived in New York City. Mrs. C. Robert Grimm (Betty) was caught in Germany at the outbreak of the War when visiting her husband's family. Mr. Grimm (1849-1916) had moved to the U.S. in 1881, becoming a construction engineer in Philadelphia and New York. After his death in Germany, the War made it impossible for his wife to return to New York. John Cresson Trautwine, Jr. (1850-1924) was a civil engineer in Philadelphia and editor of his father's annual CIVIL ENGINEER'S POCKET BOOK. |
